Ingredients Label
Active Ingredients
L-Carnitine Tartrate
Carnitine is a popular amino acid for fat-loss due to its role in fat metabolism.
Research, however, has only shown it to have reliable effects in those who are deficient in carnitine, whereas regular people do not seem to benefit much.
Fat-burning effects aside, the tartrate form is well-known for also having benefits on power output (1).
The effective dose is 1-4g.
Green Tea
Green tea contains catechins, which are reliable fat-burning compounds.
Green tea extract has been shown to improve fat oxidation by considerable amounts in studies on athletes (2).
The effective is around 500mg.
Gymnema Sylverstre
Gymnema sylvestre is a plant which is used in traditional medicine.
It’s known for its anti-diabetic effects, and has been shown to block the absorption of carbohydrates (3).
Appetite-suppression effects have also been observed.
Capsicum
Capsicum is high in capsaicin, a compound with fat-burning effects.
Research shows that it can boost metabolic rate, as well as rates of fat oxidation (4, 5).
Chromium
Chromium is an essential mineral.
It’s been shown to help with regulating blood sugar levels, and may also suppress appetite (6).
The effective dose is 500-1,000 micrograms.

Pros
- Can easily be used alongside other stimulant-containing supplements
- Suppresses appetite
- Boosts fat-loss without any jitters or crash.
Cons
- Misses out on energy and metabolism-boosting effects of stimulants
- Carnitine may only burn fat in those who are deficient in it.
Conclusion
Clean Burn contains no stimulants, but includes a bunch of other effective fat-loss ingredients.
This is a double-edged sword, as it gives the supplement more versatility, but also forgoes the benefits associated with caffeine for fat-loss and energy.
The other ingredients appear to make up for this, with proven research and near-effective doses.
You could also choose to further enhance the fat-loss and energy effects by adding your own caffeine.
